Adding the Google Analytics code to your website
Add the following lines to your tracking code on your web site after the opening <body> tag. Be sure to replace the _uacct= line with your actual Analytics account ID.
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct="UA-xxxx-x";
_udn="none";
_ulink=1;
urchinTracker();
</script>
Change the links from the main site to the secure site to use __utmLinker as follows. If your current links look like:
<a href="https://Secure.RezOvation.com/Reservations/CheckAvailability.aspx?_03P4E5CUNQMVA9">Book Now</a>
Change them to:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href="javascript:__utmLinker(\'https://Secure.RezOvation.com/Reservations/CheckAvailability.aspx?_03P4E5CUNQMVA9\');">Book Now</a>');
</script>
<noscript>
<a href="https://Secure.RezOvation.com/Reservations/CheckAvailability.aspx?_03P4E5CUNQMVA9">Book Now</a>
</noscript>
Important: if your pages include a call to urchinTracker(), utmLinker(), utmSetTrans(), or utmLinkPost(), your Analytics tracking code must be placed in your HTML code ABOVE any of these calls. In these cases the tracking code can be placed anywhere between the opening <body> tag and the JavaScript call.
Notes
- It generally takes about 24 hours for Google to update with tracking information, so tracking results may not be immediate.
- The Google Analytics script does not support the target="blank" call, which is used to open a link in new window.
- For information about customizing the look of your Booking Engine checkout pages, please view this FAQ.
